Forgot to upload these the other day when it came in.
2023 Women's Silver proof mint set.

Very nice!

USPS informed delivery tells me mine are showing up today. I ordered an extra set for my youngest granddaughter (along with the 2022 silver set, already here and ready to go) so she can have the American Women's Quarters. Training her early!

I am a sucker for the Sacagawea/Native American Dollar coins. I just really like them.

2009 was my first attempt at restarting coin collecting but things in life pulled me away again. But I did manage to buy a half dozen of these in proof. So now I am expanding my proof collection of these picking up a few at a time.

This is the latest one I received recently. It cracks me up as it looks as if the tortoise is howling too, with the turkey looking on very critically.

While the Sac's don't generally catch my eye, there are a few of the designs they used on the REV that I really like. That one with the howling turtle is one of my favorites.

And I agree with the amazing buffalo!

The silver proof set looks nice for the designs except what I personally think is one of the worst designs I have ever seen on the bottom left. I remember when they announced this one I did some homework as to the woman portrayed and thought they did her a disservice by making her an "artistic" billboard. The designs of the upper three, especially, really do look good to me in proof though.

All great additions!

Looking closer at the Indian Head cent, it looks like there might be a pre Cud to the right of ONE CENT.

Yep, good eye, I saw that one, now you can see another pre Cud on the left side of the coin too at K9.

What exactly does the "K" in "K9" stand for? I understand the 9, just like the position on a clock, but not the "K."

we use the letter K to indicate that we are referring back to a clock face. If we just said 9, it would be confusing, and of course we can say 9 O'clock - but that entails a lot more typing

back when I was first learning, I had to ask this very same question.

Thanks! What I thought, just figured I would double check. Sorry for hijacking the thread again... (kind of a joke) Sometimes my questions from my perspective don't seem to fit. Thanks!
